Magic Lantern
Meet Again
Kreshna followed Ratih from the moment they met at breakfast after the marriage contract.
The two are on different sides during the marriage contract. Train with his friends. Kreshna in his own side corner.
Seeing Ratih separated with his friends who were taking their breakfast each. Krishna came to Ratih.
His friends who saw Ratih with Krishna drew near. They chose to stay away and left Ratih with Krishna.
“You set me apart with my friends.”
“You guys are always together in the office. We rarely meet other than at the wedding.” Kreshna laughed loudly.
“I'll come with my friends. Now they're running away from me because they're talking to you.”
“Do not have to worry about small things why the hell? Just accept your fate. Today spend time with me. I'll drive you home.”
“Not necessary. I'm with my friends only.”
“We'll see later.”
“Why do you like to force?”
“I'm not forcing. It's just that I'm starting to think.”
“Think what?”
“Everyone could have had trauma. Not that they will experience it again.”
“Recurated. It could happen.”
“Can also not.”
“Not everyone wants to speculate in their life.”
“Moreover love affairs.”
“That's you know.”
“Entahlah. Let the time that answers hesitate.”
“Sagu aja meningan can be made siomay.”, empek-empek, siomay.<TAG1>
Kreshna.
“Bikin boxer. Try yuk siomay there. Looks good.”
They walked towards the saung that provided the siomay.
“Sagu doubt.”
“I yearya sago tani.”
Kreshna laughs again, “Just trying to be funny.”
“Oh..” Ratih is aware of his ketelmian.
“How do you work?”
“Good.”
“You are helping Pras now with your friend. What's name?”
“Diah.”
“Yeah. Diah.”
“I prefer Tania.”
“You know Tania is continuing her studies abroad and working there.”
“Work needs professional. If not. Company harmed.”
“You mean?”
“I nagged Pras. Because she couldn't help but disturb Tania. Now he's lost Marsha. Company loses Tania.”
“Diah is also good kok.”
“I've matched the way Tania works.”
“Diah will continue her studies.”
“Yeah. Hopefully he can match Tania.”
“Everyone has their own qualifications.”
“Yeah. It's just. Tania lightened the burden of my work. Now I'm concurrent with the foreman overseeing all of you.”
Replace the laughing Ratih.
“Mump me here. We go for a walk, yuk.”
“I'll work.”
“I leave.”
“Can't accompany you.”
“Can if you also take a leave of absence.”
“No, thanks.”
“Come on!”
“No!”
“Please?”
“I need my cut.”
“You calculation once.”
“So lah.”
“Good. You'll give me a job outside with me for a walk.”
“My work is much.”
“Look at tomorrow.” Sahut Kreshna is stubborn.
Marsha and Raka look good. The two shook hands while throwing smiles at the guests. Pras no longer looks at his nose.
“Marsha looks happy with Raka. It seems to have moved on from Pras.” Kreshna.
“Marsha tries to accept her life as it is.”
“Are you also trying to move on from me?”
“Looks, yes.”
Krishna looked at Ratih with a stifled face.
“You why?” Tanya Ratih saw the change in Krishna's face.
“I think we have something.”
“Indeed it can't be like Marsha? Found happiness. Let go of the uncertainty of love offered to her?”
Kreshna clasped Ratih's hand firmly.
“You hurt me.” His whisper.
Krishna took off his hand.
“Sorry.”
“I'd like it like Marsha. All women want that. But, with whom?”
Kreshna looked at Ratih with an annoyed look.
“Not funny!”
“Cooking anyway?”
“Can you and Bima suddenly get married. You guys are so familiar. Beyond me and Alicia.”
“By also his idea.” Radih.
“You are still in contact with him.”
“No. But, I'll think about it. Who knew I could be like Marsha, right?”
Kreshna. Ratih looked at him.
His friends approached Ratih.
“Tih, we want to go home. Want to stay with?”
Before Ratih answered, Krishna preceded.
“Ratih go home with me.”
“Good, sir.” Mirna sungkan.
“Mir! Wait!” Call Ratih.
“You go home with Mr. Krishna only. It just so happens that my car is full. Someone suddenly came.”
“Mir!”
“I've been waiting for another. See you tomorrow at the office.” Mirna walks away from Krishna and Ratih.
“Truly very understanding staff. What's-her-name? Let me recommend Pras. I owe him.”
“Excess!” Sahut Ratih manyun's.
Krishna let go of his laughter.
Next day. Pras asked him for an outside assignment to accompany Krishna.
“Today you don't have to help me. Your duty is to accompany Kreshna.”
“Good. Where is she?”
“Absolutely you don't need me?”
“Need. But he needs you here.”
Kreshna picked up Ratih in his room. They go together.
“I borrow Ratih first, yes..”.
“Restore intact and do not forget his souvenirs.”
Kreshna laughed at it. They walked out of the office.
Kreshna drove the car Pras borrowed from him.
“Where are we going?” Ask Ratih.
“I'll take you somewhere. You'll love it.”
“Really?” Said Ratih.
Kreshna drove the car slowly. Blame tape. Song by Kiss the Rain.
Enjoy this beautiful song. Fulfilling the lyrics of the song. Mind wanders.
Although your heart is mine. Its hollow inside.
I never had your love
And I never will
So why am I still here in the rain....
The song seemed to be mocking him. As a woman. He wants to be like Marsha. Find the prince of his white horse. A fairy tale love story.
But he had not been able to open his heart to the others. Whatever the pain of his relationship with Krishna is full of uncertainty and doubt.
His heart loved Krishna without hesitation. Maybe he will attend Krishna's wedding with sunglasses like Pras.
Seeing Kreshna hanging out with her lady. He's felt it before. When Alicia got married. Unable to step foot into the reception building.
“You why? How quiet?”
Ratih shook his head.
“I'm fine.”
“I will not bind you in uncertainty. If you find your happiness. I'll be happy for you. Forget what I said yesterday.”
“I am so too.” Said Ratih, “If you find your happiness. I'll be happy for you.”
“Although that means semaput.” Kontan Kreshna. Train laughs.
“Maybe I feel like the world is collapsing when you find your happiness. If it's not with me. But I do know. Everything will be fine.”
“Where are we going?”
“Surprise. You'll see for yourself, will you?”
They arrived at a hill. Kreshna parked his car.
“The place is so ordinary.” Radih. Seeing the hill was also a bit barren.
“Quiet first!”
“Ok! I've told you a lot of work.”
“Yeah, I know. Just a minute.”
“Over time it's okay if it matters.” Sahut Ratih jutek's.
“Propay why the hell?”
Kreshna took him down. They're up the hill.
“Close your eyes.”
“Fall dong later I to the ravine.”
“There will be nothing I.” The laughter of Kreshna.
“What's your function?”
“Pushing you.”
Both laughed out.
“Similar to a parking attendant if his car breaks down.”
“Don't fuss dong! Close your eyes.”
Ratih obeyed the words of Krishna.
“Then I became a cornet. Don't forget the certificate of halal.”
They're back laughing.
Kreshna guided Ratih's hand slowly.
“Do not skip.”
“Iya.”
“Start if you get to peek.”
“Yeah!”
They walk step by step.
“Now you can open your eyes.”
Ratih looked out his eyes.
“What's special?”
The hill is not like any other hill.
“This.” Krishna pointed to a large stone in front of them.
“What is this?”
“We can write our name here. Our hope is here.”
“What do you mean?”
“Try you see for yourself.”
Patih examined the stone. There are some writings. Most people names and pictures of the heart.
“This place is not too many know. So we can still write anything.”
Kreshna took out a marker that could be used to write on the stone.
“For what?”
“Write our name and expectations.”
“You first!”
“Alright!”
Kreshna opened the marker.
Write his name and train it on the rock. Hope they can be together forever.
“Giliranmu.”
I wrote four words. Idems.
“You wrote too short.”
Ratih laughs.
“Gak aci! Reexamined. And can't cheat. This is not a test in class. Free your mind.”
Trained to write back. Names of both. Hope is given ease and spaciousness to whatever is destined for both of them.
“You didn't write down your expectations as you should. What do you want?”
“Everything happens by the will of God.”
“If we are not fated together how?”
“Kan I have written hopefully given ease and spaciousness to whatever is destined.”
“Although that means semaput. Jump from waterfall.”
Train back to laughing.
“I know all God's will. But at least write down what your expectations are. If it is not accepted. Continue to live what is destined. How?”
Ratih was silent for a moment.
“Good.”
May the love we feel find its way.
